Yea I agree with everything you said. But I definitely would not invest a single dollar without a guarantee that it would be DRM free and playable offline single player. No point in buying the game if I don’t actually own it.

Also don’t forget that Fend is interruptible pre 1.07.

Maybe not. Auras take a lot longer to activate and deactivate pre 1.10 .. and also things like poison length duration IIRC.

Haha given the Warlock and the other QoL improvements, a lot of people will be happy with this. I’m still not buying it due to the DRM and all of the other stuff but hopefully people that want to buy it or already have it have fun.

I hope you and your family feel better soon @thrasher_565.

Maybe it was if you miss the first time then they all miss.. but I remember there was a situation where all my subsequent attacks wouldn’t hit anymore. And yea maybe keeping at level 1 and using some gear to increase the skill would be better. There isn’t too much gear I can think of that...

Lol yea it should be "fully playable offline". Edited. I also would love to have an old school physical box release with a fully playable 1.0.0 on the disc with no drm. Let's go Moon Beast!

Looking good. I'm really hoping for the following things or it's an immediate no-go for me: 1. Should work on Windows 10. I've taken a hard stance against Windows 11 and I've made it pretty public as well. So much so that I've stopped all Windows development and only continue maintaining Cactus...

Lol yea.. I've tried putting a lot points into Zeal, and I decided it's better to prolly self-cap yourself at 5 (similar to how they capped it in 1.07). Cause 1 point = 1 hit, so level 20 zeal is basically 20 hits in a row. Problem is if you get interrupted or you miss, it seems all of your hits...

Lol yea, I had a Pally in 1.05b before and hammers did physical damage. Definitely slower when it comes to monsters with high physical resistance. One thing that I noticed later on was that I should have put more points into redemption as soon as I got it. Given the mana pot drop rate, and the...

Seems like normal Crusader gloves to me? The elite version.

Not legitimately. If no switching difficulty and LAN available, only other way I can think of is to change the seed value in the character file itself with a hex editor, delete the map file (prolly not needed but cleans things up), and then let the game generate the map using its new seed.

Our knowledge continues to grow, together!

I'm glad you love Succulent @Udeshi. Here is to many more years and decades of enjoyment! 🍻

Welcome to the forum @Snowden. Hopefully you don’t need to be on a VPN to visit us.

Yea I’m thinking that the MPQs are different (if you really wanna know you can generate a sha256 hash or something for all of the retail MPQs and also all of the MPQs installed by the shareware. You can also compare the MPQ file sizes. If they are different than it wouldn’t be Cactusable given...

I guess one other thing I thought about that might affect the experience is whether or not the MPQ files in 1.04 shareware and 1.04 retail are exactly the same, just to make sure there are no content differences between the core files. I would think it’s possible the MPQs are the same since the...

Lol. All you need to do is copy the same files that the normal 1.04 (b or c doesn't matter, they have same file list) platform has from your shareware 1.04 and put it in its own platform, it should work! Call the platform something like: 1.04 (Shareware) That should be it!

Lol yea cnc-ddraw would fix that video problem ;D. I'll need to check if my Diablo II Collector's Edition (1.00) has a shareware version on it.. maybe/maybe not. I remember when I installed some of my other Blizzard games from the CD, they would have the Shareware, but maybe I'm misremembering...

I did, more than once :oops:
